KING Charles’ younger sister, Princess Anne, has been hospitalized as a precaution after she sustained minor injuries and a concussion in an incident at her home, Buckingham Palace has said in a statement.
According to our source, Anne, 73, was walking near horses in her Gatcombe Park estate, in Gloucestershire, western England, when she suffered minor injuries to her head.
While the exact cause of these injuries is unconfirmed, Stonix News learnt that Princess Anne’s head injuries are consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.
Emergency services were sent to the estate and, according to CNN, after medical care at the scene, she was transferred to Southmead Hospital in Bristol for appropriate tests, treatment and observation.
“The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening.
“Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.
“The King has been kept closely informed and joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to The Princess for a speedy recovery,” Buckingham Palace said.
As of Monday, June 24, Princess Anne was recovering well in hospital.
A royal source told CNN that the princess’s upcoming royal engagements have been postponed on her doctors’ advice.
